In our daily, we often talk about the layout design of the LED lamp, the brightness of the LED lamp, the lighting beam angle of the LED lamp, and the dim color of the LED lamp, we seldom talk about the LED chip what is the emitting medium of combination. The innovation of the LED chip is a huge step forward for the lighting industry in the human history, it’s because of the research and development of the LED chip, that the world becomes more colorful during Christmas night than ever before. But due to different occasions, there has different requirements of the lighting effect, so we should consider the outlook, sizes, wattage, lumen, beam angle, color temperature, and more relevant details when we look for the lights for projects. Hereto, this article gives a reminder of you which kinds of SMD LED chips are best for your project while you hesitate of those.
Important Brightness Of The LED Strip Light
When we stand in the middle of the supermall or playground, the brightness of the lights will affect our mood to be positively or not, especially in the accent point areas. The brightest environment will highlight our mood to go around the supermarket, and buy something needs when we see the goods clearly, and the number of goods sold will be relative to the business income directly. If we do sports in the playground at dawn or night without enough light, we may stumble and get hurt by accident. The brightest lighting in the showroom will influence the effect of the exhibition, etc. Therefore, choosing the right SME chips in light is important. Generally, we through the lumen, lux, candela, watts, luminaire efficacy, and lumens per watt to measure the LED chip.
The Steps Of Measure Brightness Of LED Chips
Lumen
Lumen(lm) is used to measure how much light is emitted by the light fixture, the intensity of the visible light is the total amount, so a total number of lumens are one of the brightness power when we looking for lighting fixtures.
Lux
Lux(lx) is a lamp’s the total luminous flux spread over agiven area, which as a measure of the intensity of illumination on a surface. Accordong to equal to one lumen per square metre, we can learn the lamp’s total illuminance.
Difference Between Lumen & Lux
Candela
Candela(cd) is a unit used to measure the intensity of emitting light in a certain direction. It is named from a common candle that generates approximately 1 candela of brightness in a specific direction. So the candela is used in a wide range of spotlights, track lights or something that isn’t stated on luminaires.
Watts
Watts is the unit that people measure the brightness of the lamps. Usually, the more wattage of the light fixtures the more brightness they are. 1000w light for 1 hour, that would be 1000 watt hour(KWH.)
Luminaire Efficacy
The luminaire efficacy is also related to components of the lamps, such as the diffuser or reflectors that can influence the lighting effect when the light emitted go through them. So we also need to consider the quality of the components of the lighting fixtures when buying a light.
Lumen per watt
Because of the different structures of SMD chips combined and the various component, so each light may have a different watt. According to the incandescent light feature, it will emit 10~15lm per watt.
After analyzing the above elements that all have an impact on the lighting effect, at the following, we will learn about the roots that decide the main lighting effect_---LED SMD.
Which SMD Is Best For You?
SMD is “ Surface Mounted Devices” which is a point emitted by multiple point light sources attached together. As the LED market develops, SMD chips classify several types and sizes, for example, SMD 2835, 5050, 5030, and 3528. Practically, all of those certain code names are basically dimensions of LED strips, for instance, 2835 refers to 2.8mmx3.5mm. Many people may also wonder: Is the smd2835 equal to smd3528? Actually, they are not the same, no matter the size, light intensity, luminous performance or application scenario. Here the below sheet is some information detail of 2835,5065,5050 and 3528.

From the above sheet and synthesize various units of luminescence, SMD 2835 is the smallest chip with high light efficiency and a long lifespan, which also adopts a special heat dissipation method, placed t. All the excellent features make it a big competitive advantage in the LED market. In addition to the SMD2835, SMD 5630 is widely used in the EU market for its brighter and volume light. Both SMD 2835 and SMD 5630 are suitably used in large applications, like supermalls, warehouses and parking lots, etc. While SMD 5050 is used for task lighting, and SMD 3528 more preferred to use as accent lighting.
In summary, no matter which SMD chip, each type has its use areas in various requirements. Just depends on what area you are standing in.
